A mailing list is a collection of names and addresses used by an individual or an organization to send material to multiple recipients. The term is often extended to include the people subscribed to such a list, so the group of subscribers is referred to as "the mailing list", or simply "the list".

Types of mailing lists

At least two types of mailing lists can be defined: an announcement list is closer to the original sense, where a "mailing list" of people was used as a recipient for newsletters, periodicals or advertising. Traditionally this was done through the postal system, but with the rise of email, the electronic mailing list became popular. The second type allows members to post their own items which are broadcast to all of the other mailing list members. This second category is usually known as a discussion list.

how do i get off college mailing lists?
Q. i get 2-3 college brochures in the mail every day, and i don't need them. do i have to unsubscribe to each one individually (i'm on the lists of about 50 different colleges) or is there some website i can go to to unsubscribe to all? on a different note, is there a website to unsubscribe to all the junk email i'm getting? thanks.

A. Most people get the college junk mail becuase they said on the SATs that they wanted to subscribe to such. If you call college board at 609-771-7600 (not toll free) or mail them at The College Board PO box 234112 New York New York 10023. If this doesn't work tracking down who leaked your information would be best.
